Science, Engineering and Technology Fair

Around 2000 Primary 7  children from all the Falkirk schools are taking part in this exciting event. It was our turn to go along on Friday this week.

The SET fair is supported by INEOS and is part of the My Future’s in Falkirk  initiative. It was a very busy day:

Build a Bug Workshop

We became an electronic engineer for the day when we made our fully electronic Jitterbugs.

Wood Technology Workshop

Here we made our own kites

 ‘Who wants to be a Scientist?’ Workshop

Here we learned about the many exciting careers that can develop from taking science subjects in High School

K’Nex design challenge

Problem solving and team work were at the forefront of this activity. We were challenged to use the K’Nex kits to design and construct a distillation tower. We had to stick to the strict guidelines … and teachers were not allowed to help!

We captured some of the moments in this video:

  1. Yes, I did have a great time (and I learned loads, too!).

    What activity did you enjoy most? …….. I was stressed at the ‘make your own bug’ workshop. I couldn’t get the plastic tubes to sink in to the screws 🙂

    But the end results looked great!

  2. Class P7V
    We’re really pleased that you had an enjoyable day. It’s great to hear your feedback.
